Elon Musk’s drift to the right has been startling to watch for some time now. Ditto his cosying up to president-elect Donald Trump. For the vainglorious entrepreneur, the writing – that being his political ascent – might have already been on the wall ahead of Trump’s triumph, especially as he helped put it there (and Trump back in the White House).
Musk’s role within US government circles has been assured for some time now, largely due to his space tourism company Space X’s ongoing contracts with NASA, as well as his Starlink satellites that have provided invaluable support to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
